Probably the most recognizable version of Martini known as Dry Martini consists of the same ingredients - gin and dry vermouth. The lesser amount of vermouth in the mix means that the cocktail will be drier, while the extra-dry style consists of just a drop of vermouth or no vermouth at all.

The version with more dry vermouth is known as Wet Martini or simply Martini. Dry Martini is typically stirred in a mixing glass with ice, and it is then served into a chilled cocktail glass with a lemon twist garnish or an olive.
